Or just seed for grass.

Just on a few deals so I can get some seed money together.

So even if you wouldn't win, its a good enough seed to plant in their head that you might.....Also, I might be inclined to call and give them their 24 notice that you're coming for a showing every other night and then simply no show - just to keep them on edge a bit and make things difficult for them since they're being difficult with you.That said, I don't know if I've ever thought it was right to do showings while the tenant is there - as long as they've paid their rent current.

It all started with the same seed, I wanted to buy a duplex/triplex that can cash-flow while I live there, then do it again, and again...

We are about to inherit our seed money for our flipping business, it is coming from a 403b account, misc IRAs (which are becoming inheritance IRAs), and sale of a single family property.  

Beautiful (overpriced) seed choked by surrounding weeds.Jon Klaus I hadn't given much thought to the long lonely stretches of 380.

:1) Based off experiences with the type of SFR to invest; I'm thinking of moving my wife and I into a nicer suburb (housing ranges from 120k+, rents in the $1.2k-1.8k range) - but won't make the jump until I find something around 100-120k so I can rent it out in the future if I chose to move.If I did this, I would rent out my current townhome (purchased for $75k & built in 2003, rents for about 950-1100 in very desirable location in Jacksonville)...Option 2 would be based on trying to leverage more cashflow to help feed future investments:2) stay in my townhome, and drop 25% on a SFR around the 70-80k range that would rent for around $800-1k a month, but the homes in these areas would be ones built in the 1970s concrete block style.I feel like former option would best my investments for building wealth as I do not currently depend on real estate cash flow as a source of income.On the other hand it feels like having a starter investment that yields more cashflow would help seed future investments.Thoughts are always welcomed!

If they express interest then you can plant the seeds.

Instead of paying me a simple fee to find him teh right price, he wants to help me out with some seed money...so here is how i see this working.

I figure, if inflation or crash or whatever, I want all my wealth to be in physical assets, and assets that I actually want to own, that can be productive, and can be traded. even in a great economy, that makes sense.I want to hedge my bets to work, 100% certain if possible, not to risk. and diversified.used to be wealth was productivity and multiplication, still is for businesses. look at nature, seeds, animals, look how everything multiplies.now we work to pay recurring bills, it really is quite opposite. but people are getting paid those bills so it depends on which side you're on.yes wealth can be created. please write obama and explain that.
